Washington Students Celebrate Diversity

Some 180 Washington High School students and a dozen staff members recently traveled to Pinicon Ridge Park near Central City, IA for a day-long celebration of diversity.

Students were organized into groups of 12 and guided through a series of activities that included learning ethnic dance moves, a nature hike, team-building games, and presentations on native cultures by several of Washington’s international students and students who had traveled internationally.

The event was organized by the Washington Student Senate to celebrate diversity as one of the school's greatest strengths.
